Zhang Bang nodded and said with a smile: "It's hard to leave your homeland, so you have to return to your hometown to be worthy of your ancestors, right?"
Chen Jinshen agreed and said: "It's a pity that people north of the Taizi River are not allowed to move. However, it will only be a matter of one or two years."
After a pause, he added: "My family is from Shenyang and has been registered with the government. It cannot be left behind when we move."
Zhang Bang said: "My family is in Xiaoliutun, southeast of Liaoyang, which is now Hedong Town."
"Hedong Town, Xiaoliutun!" Chen Jin took out the charcoal pen and paper from his arms and wrote it down. There were two typos. Then he wrote his home address and said, "I remember it. Maybe I can go back to my hometown in Shenyang.
When I’m here, I’d like to drop by for a visit!”
Zhang Bang said with a smile: "I'm looking forward to your coming. Let's have a few drinks."
Chen Jin readily agreed, chatted for a few more words, and then urged Zhang Bang and his family to get on the road quickly. There would be a resting point set up by the government in another ten or eight miles.
Zhang Bang rushed to the car and hit the road again. He briefly introduced Chen Jin's situation to his wife.
"Actually, I don't think they all have to go back to their hometown." The wife guessed and said, "Where you say you are from, the government doesn't know whether it is true or not. All the previous household registrations are gone."
Zhang Bang thought for a moment, laughed twice, and said, "That's true. However, generally no one goes to a strange place or a place they are not familiar with."
At most, when facing special people, Zhang Bang feels inferior to us. The militiamen are also responsible for maintaining law and order, which makes me feel that I am a fellow soldier. Zhang Bang is really proud of his status as a militiaman.
Although the training is better than that of real soldiers, you can also learn some martial arts skills, which will not significantly improve your mental outlook and psychology.
Chen Jisheng and other government officials are also gradually understanding the so-called economic operation. The GDP of the entire Liaodong is increasing, and the number of Liao coins issued is also gradually increasing. They are too worried about the soaring prices and the devaluation of Liao coins.
Although Liaodong has been pacified, the armament will be reduced, and it will become more widespread. It is only a militia, not a universal military service system, it is all planned by the government.
Zhang Bang and other people obviously don't know that, and our thoughts are also very complicated. In a stable society and enough land, as long as the family is lazy and willing to work, they can only have enough food and clothing, and they can get worse.
Because of the strong military strength, the militiamen were mainly responsible for the task of transporting the rear support in this small battle of Ping Liao. It is beneficial to fight in many days, and Guo Dajing will also replenish our troops to defeat Ping Liao.
We must be civilians who are equipped with weapons and have undergone military training. We not only lack the spirit of adventure, let alone the ability to explore and retreat.
At present, the development of Liaodong is only in its early stages. Even in the surrounding areas of Liaoyang and Shenyang, the forest coverage rate is very low, and there is a lack of ferocious beasts such as wild boars and wolves.
The wife disagreed and said: "We are not the same when we return to our hometown. How many of the original villagers do we still know?"
The key is that the government has seized the most critical material, which is not food. As long as the people can eat, social order will be stable.
For people like Zhang Bang who want to return home, firstly, it is difficult to leave their homeland and the graves of their ancestors are here; secondly, the government has promised to allocate enough fields to enable several generations to inherit and live a good life.
Along the way, you can often see people rushing to their new homes with their families in tow. The earlier you arrive, the sooner you can repair your house, buy more furniture, and stabilize your life. Next spring, you can devote yourself to farming.
Of course, that complex government management model would gradually be adjusted and refined before the Ping Liao Dynasty.
"He's an expert, so it looks like he has a way out." Zhang Bang said seriously: "All the military commands and militiamen know it, and they have mastered the basic training. The instructors have said it, and if you pull it out, you can join the army and fight the enemy in battle.
"
A flash of sadness flashed across Zhang Bang's face, he chuckled twice, and then drove in silence because he wanted to talk again.
The government Tianduo promised to arrange the bad things as soon as possible, but the immigrants also brought too little food. They bought it over there and gave it to Liao coins, and then bought it back here with Liao coins. The government had to make some losses, but it was worth it, and it discouraged immigrants.
concern.
Seeing her husband's proud look, my wife covered her mouth and smiled, and she was also proud of me in her heart. But to say something else, my husband knows how to use weapons and has been trained, so even you don't feel in danger.
After thinking about it, Zhang Bang added: "Even muskets and crossbows are needed, and every village has some. To fight wild animals and protect against danger, militiamen are required to do it."
After more than ten years of war, it is rare that all the people in many villages have died. It is not that there are no people in the same village. It is inevitable that things will change after more than ten years.
The combat quality of militiamen is not far behind that of real soldiers, but those who have been trained for less than one year can, as Zhang Bang said, be used as soldiers by pulling back the army.
Zhang Bang only knew less information, so he showed his militia card to his wife, and said without showing off: "Without that card, the government will issue weapons. A crossbow machine, and not a dozen crossbow arrows, but
You can get it if you buy it.”
Otherwise, if we want to transport this year's grain, we will not have enough transportation tools or manpower.
If the financial situation is certain to support it, the special military service system can be implemented, thus bringing Liaodong closer to the ideal state of all citizens serving as soldiers.
Zhang Bang said: "The firing of muskets is still confirmed, it is just a rumor. But if the militia disbands, the government will have to rely on the militia to do very little."
Like the current army of the Xiao Ming Dynasty, there is no peasant uprising army. In terms of combat effectiveness, it may not be much weaker than the militia of Liaodong.
Moreover, the continuous expansion of territory to the north was a goal that Guo Dajing hesitated to move. This also requires the guarantee of force and the adventurous spirit of the people. If it relies solely on the army, it may not be able to achieve it.
However, the government controlled the salt and iron industry, and the daily necessities such as cotton cloth and cotton cloth purchased from outside could still be maintained under internal financial operations.
Equipping villages with weapons can, on the one hand, minimize the danger to the people, and on the other hand, maintain the existence of the militia.
The standing army, the garrison, and the militia will be the eight pillars of Liaodong's military organization.
The government may move in and out of certain areas, thereby creating a more restrictive environment for business development in order to attract investment and promote the economic development of Liaodong.
Moreover, Liaodong has always been in a state of war. In addition to danger and food and clothing, the people also have very low requirements.
The wife laughed and said: "I saw the training of their militiamen, and there was nothing novel about it. They were gesticulating with a wooden gun, and they were shouting and shouting in silence."
"I heard that every house used to issue muskets?" My wife felt that the atmosphere was not dull, so she randomly found a topic, "The war is over, are there still militiamen?"
According to Guo Dajing's standards, militiamen have to participate in many battles, but they must be led by veterans. Only after one or two actual combat exercises can they be considered basically qualified.
The Liao people suffered heavy losses and millions of lives were lost when they established captives and provoked rebellion. This was a lesson that military preparedness was sufficient. No one dared to say that there would be no more enemy invasions and no more wars.
